At this moment, Tang San had already fully recovered from his shock. He was somewhat surprised that these monsters could actually maintain order? But at this moment, what he thought about more was how he could get a closer look at her.
Quickly taking a few steps forward, he came to the shop entrance and looked at the beautiful lady inside the window, feeling a mix of emotions.
“What do you want?” the beautiful lady asked, her voice still calm.
Tang San stuttered, “I, I want, two, two cups of milk tea.”
“Alright, two demon coins.” The beautiful lady took two cups of milk tea, put them in a bag, and handed it to him.
Tang San handed her the two demon coins, but the beautiful lady pointed to a tray in front of him, which was filled with demon coins.
Only then did Tang San understand that she didn’t want to touch the money directly. For some reason, he felt a bit delighted, and a smile appeared on his face. He then placed the demon coins on the tray and took the milk tea.
“Hurry up and go,” the beautiful lady said, glancing at him.
Tang San almost blurted out, “Why are you selling milk tea?”
The beautiful lady was clearly taken aback by his question. The shop assistant couldn’t help but laugh, “There are still people who ask such silly questions. Selling milk tea is obviously to make money! And making money is because of a lack of money!”
The beautiful lady seemed not to hear the shop assistant, looking at Tang San and saying, “To support the family.”
“Oh, oh.”
“Done shopping and still not leaving?” A gruff voice sounded from the side.
Tang San turned his head to look at the porcupine monster, then turned to leave. After taking a few steps, he couldn’t help but turn back to look at the beautiful lady.
He saw her frown and wave at him, signaling him to leave quickly.
Then he noticed that when the beautiful lady was packing the milk tea for the porcupine monster, she was much slower than when she packed it for him.
She was concerned about me, afraid I would be at a disadvantage? Afraid the porcupine monster would target me after buying the milk tea?
Tang San felt a warm feeling in his heart. Perhaps because he cared too much, he was more sensitive at such times.
Returning to the big tree, he handed a cup of milk tea to Wu Bingji.
Wu Bingji took the milk tea with some surprise, “What is this?”
“Milk tea.” Tang San pointed to the distant milk tea shop where the beautiful lady was. His gaze lingered on her figure.
“Oh, are we leaving?” Wu Bingji asked.
“Yeah, let’s go.” Tang San didn’t want to cause any trouble for the beautiful lady. He took a deep look at her one last time before leaving with Wu Bingji.
The milk tea wasn’t very sweet, but it had a faint dairy aroma and a warm taste.
Tang San drank it while walking with Wu Bingji. Both of their gazes were unfocused.
After walking for a while, Tang San suddenly realized he had taken a wrong turn. He adjusted his direction and headed towards Aunt Gui’s place. Actually, it was quite far from here to Aunt Gui’s place. But since he had already told Guan Longjiang, he couldn’t just not go.
Throughout the journey, no matter how he walked, her figure was always in his mind.
If only I could stay by her side every day!
Aunt Gui’s inn was as usual. When Tang San arrived, it was already dark.
Aunt Gui was surprised to see him and Wu Bingji.
“Why are you here? Who is this?”
“This is my good friend,” Tang San quickly introduced, since they were outside, he didn’t call Wu Bingji “Senior Brother.”
Wu Bingji had also recovered from his thoughts. His eyes were bright, indicating he had gained something from his earlier contemplation.
“Hello, Aunt. I’m Wu Bingji. I’m with Little Tang at Jialin Academy Town.” Wu Bingji said.
Aunt Gui suddenly understood and smiled, “Come in, let’s talk inside.”
She led them to a room in the small inn, got them some food, and closed the door before asking Tang San, “Why did you come suddenly? Is there something?”
Tang San said, “I came to see you. How are Teacher Wang and the others? Are they all well?”
Aunt Gui sighed with relief when she heard this. She was afraid there might be some special situation.
“Everything is fine on that side. The incident that day was very serious, and it has escalated to a conflict between two races. I heard the lord of Fenglang Town died, and this lord had a very special identity, supposedly from the direct lineage of the Fenglang King. No one knows why he became a small lord there, but his bloodline was still significant. After his death, the Fenglang King was furious and vowed to take revenge. The Fenglang and Flash Leopard races have already fought several battles. The town, on the other hand, is relatively calm. It’s said that the high priest has left, and there’s no one in charge of the town. There shouldn’t be any problems in the short term.”
Tang San thought for a moment, “Is it possible to bring them to the city? It’s not safe there.”
Based on his understanding of the monster race over the years, only large cities like Jialin City had order. Outside the city, there was no order, and everything depended on strength. If you had strength, you could survive. If not, you could face danger at any time.
A faint smile appeared on Aunt Gui’s face, and she said, “You’re a good boy. Don’t worry, the organization is already preparing. You just focus on your studies at the academy. You can represent the legacy of the Fenglang lineage, and if you perform well, the organization will naturally pay more attention to your teacher’s side. Do you understand what I mean?”
Tang San naturally understood and nodded seriously.
“It’s getting late, and you’ll be returning late as well. Eat something and go back early. Be careful on the way.” Aunt Gui urged.
She didn’t know that Tang San had come to see her as a side trip, thinking he had come specifically, and she was somewhat moved.
After dinner, Tang San and Wu Bingji set off again, heading back to Redemption Academy.
On the way, Wu Bingji suddenly asked, “You seem a bit off today! Do you know the girl selling milk tea in the square?”
Tang San was taken aback, nodded, but then shook his head. He thought Wu Bingji was completely immersed in his own world, but he had still noticed.
Wu Bingji said, “Do you know her or not?”
Tang San said, “I’ve met her once. That time, I came with Teacher Wang to deliver the gift list to the Fenglang ancestral house. I was waiting outside under the big tree, and she gave me a cup of milk tea.”
Wu Bingji smiled slightly, “You took leave to come see her, right? Yeah, she is really beautiful. I was thinking about how to control and improve ice elements the whole time, but even from a distance, I was still attracted by her beauty. No wonder you had such a reaction.”
Saying this, his smile faded a bit, “However, Little Tang, I have to remind you. To be able to sell milk tea in the city center square, she must have a strong background. She is likely an affiliate of a powerful race, which is why the monsters buying milk tea from her can’t covet her. Everyone has a heart for beauty, but you’re still young, so it’s better to come less often in the future.”
Saying this, he paused for a moment, and his smile returned, “But the milk tea is really good.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Tang San nodded in agreement, accepting Wu Bingji’s concern.
Of course, he would still come.
Is she selling milk tea because she needs money? Why does she need so much money? The milk tea shop seems to be doing well, I wonder how much money she needs. This was what Tang San thought about on his way back after seeing the beautiful lady.
Yeah, I’ll try to come again soon.
When they returned to Redemption Academy, it was already completely dark. Wu Bingji went to report to Guan Longjiang, and Tang San went straight back to his room.
